8. Update theme

Nothing stands still, the updates for WP and plugins are constantly released and they are included in our template.

We supplement our theme with new features and fix all the issues. Because of this our team regularly updates theme.

We recommend you always to use the last theme version to avoid the issues with incorrect template functioning.

While the theme update the theme files will be rewritten and if you made any changes directly in them, these changes will be lost.

So, if you are planning to customize your template, we insistently advise you to use Child Theme or Custom CSS area in Theme Options in case your changes affect only CSS styles.

The theme update affects only the theme files and does not influence the database. But, to avoid any difficulties, please, do the backup of theme files and database before any update.

Follow the steps below to update theme through FTP:

Download the zipped package from ThemeForest and extract to your desktop.

In the extracted package you will find archive bebostore.x.x.zip, which is the WordPress theme.

Install and activate it like any other plugin. A new menu item, “Envato Market,” will appear in the admin sidebar.
Click on the sidebar link and enter your marketplace username and secret Envato API Personal Token.
Click “Save Settings.” All of your theme purchases will now appear on this page after it refreshes.

The plugin will now alert you to theme updates – so long as you check the toolkit settings regularly. Click on “install automatically” beside of your theme to automatically update them.
